Three OVER three

FHE Ideas...I've enjoyed scouring the web for FHE ideas over the last few weeks so thought I would post our lessons for anyone who wants to use them and or pass them along to others.

Here is one for this week...
Freedom FHE

Object Lesson - Have one of your children volunteer to help you with an object lesson. Sit on a chair and have your child sit on your lap. Put your arms around him or her so they are snug and tight, holding the child in place. Proceed to tell your child that you and the child are going to sit there the rest of the day and that they can't go anywhere....no food or friends today!! Ask them, "You didn't want to go outside and play today, did you?" or "Now did you really want to eat again today? You ate yesterday!" Playfully tease until they get the idea and have them sit back down. Get them to think about what it might be like if they didn't have any choices. Ask your children some of the following questions:* How did it feel to have me hold you tightly on my lap and not let you move around as you wished?* What does the word freedom mean? * What would it be like if all your decisions were made for you by someone else?Freedom is an important part of lives, and many have given a lot to have it. Whether a long time ago, like in the Book of Mormon, or even today, we continue to fight for this privilege (idea from www.sugardoodle.net)

Talk about and share some pictures of military servicemen and women. Show them a map of the middle east where many of them are currently stationed. Discuss how they help to protect our freedom and the freedoms of others.

Review the story of Captain Moroni and the Title of Liberty.

Draw and or write pictures to send to service people.
